Lost/Missing TLD Charges

By Bob Colichio

Lately we’ve been getting a number of extra charges for individuals losing or damaging their
TLD’s or not exchanging it prior to the next badge exchange date. In the event this happens
Radiological Control Division initiates a Routine Exposure Investigation (REI).

The administration cost associated with this investigation is generally $400.00 per each TLD.

Emails are normally sent out several days before the scheduled exchange date. Please ensure
you hang your TLD on the board before this date. If you will be gone from BNL for an extended
period, make sure you hang you badge on the board before you leave.

If, in the event you miss the exchange date, immediately bring your TLD to the Facility
Support office ASAP.
